2-Piece Power Connectors
THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING POWER CONNECTORS
Application. Does the application require a board-to-board, wire-to-board, wire-to-wire, bus bar, card edge
or a combination of these types of connectors?
Current and Voltage. Does the connector require power only, or a combination of power and signal?
How much current is required in the application? Keep in mind that power connector performance is
typically measured in amperes (or amps). The voltage is also very important as it defines the spacing
between the contacts.
Hot-Pluggability. Will the application be mated while under electrical load? If so, a hot-pluggable connector
is required. Many of the products in this guide have been approved for use in hot-plug applications.

AdvancedTCA
The PICMG 3.0
AdvancedTCA standard
defines architecture
for modular computing
components within
communications network
infrastructure. The
standardization focuses
on providing superior
power and cooling
capabilities in solutions
that are cost eective,
highly available and
highly scalable.
MicroTCA
The PICMG
MicroTCA.0 standard is
complimentary to the
AdvancedTCA standard,
but is optimized for
smaller scale and
more price sensitive
applications.
VITA 46
Based on VMEbus
technology, the standard
is defined for 3U and 6U
formats and merges the
latest in connector and
packaging technology
with the latest in bus and
serial fabric technology.
VITA 62
The latest in VITA
Standards, VITA 62 is
currently being defined
and will use the standard
VPX 3V16U form factor and
comply to requirements
defined in VITA. 48.0. VITA
62 will define the power
generation requirements
for a module that can be
used to power systems
that support a VITA 62 slot
on the VPX backplane.
VITA 41
Referred to as VXS-
VME Switched Serial in
the next generation of
VME backplanes and
introduces features like
improved bandwidth,
backward compatibility
and increased power
delivery into the existing
VMEbus technology.
Guide Hardware
Guide modules are available for the
AdvancedTCA, VITA 41.0 VXS and the
VITA 46.0 VPX standards
Most guide modules are keyed to
prevent misalignment during board-
to-board mating
ATCA guide modules are available
